fruits even more tasty, healthy and bug free for those who are interested in these fruits.
Examples ?
Android Smartphones ==> Linux
Rockbox driven MP3-Players
Fritz!Box-Os ==> Linux
"Smart devices", which also run Linux under their hood.
This forum software is OpenSource (I think...)
Dozens of other devices, which run some kind of Linux variant under their hood.
The GIMP, Blender, PHP. Perl, Lua, Mecrisp-Stellaris FORTH, gcc, gdb, ....

I am sure, Thomas has spent really a LOT of time being interested in the source code

A BIG "Thank you" to Thomas, Michael, David and all other unnamed persons, who build

Only my two cent. Your mileage may vary...
Cheers!
